Fit an ornate bronze one along the top edge, as this handmade Georgian backgammon set has, and the board stops being furniture and starts being something you bring. That matters in Georgia, where nobody plays where they live — they play where the table is longest and the evening runs latest. A board with a handle like this one is a board that gets invited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it brings with it is worth the trip. The coat of arms of Georgia is carved into the centre in deep relief — Saint George on his horse in the shield, a lion standing either side, the crown above — with a cast bronze roundel set on each flank so the metal runs all the way across the lid. It weighs 6 kg \/ 13.2 lb, which you feel the moment you lift it and forget the moment you open it: the clasps release, the bronze hinges swing, and there is a full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field with the checkers waiting. A luxury backgammon set that has clearly been made to travel, and made to be looked at when it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackgammon board with bronze hinges, clasps and an ornate bronze carry handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 checkers made from beech and walnut wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA pair of dice and a carrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolded: 30 x 60 cm \/ 11.8 x 23.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen playing field: 60 x 60 cm \/ 23.6 x 23.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 6 kg \/ 13.2 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood: solid beech, with bronze details, hinges and clasps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntirely handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe coat of arms of Georgia carved by hand in deep relief — shield, lions and crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo cast bronze roundels flanking it and an ornate bronze carry handle above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolds shut on bronze hinges into a case built to be carried\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA luxury Georgian backgammon board with real weight and real metal on it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift That Arrives Well\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it to the host — the one whose house everyone ends up at anyway.
